STUFFED CRAB
Steps:
- In a skillet over low heat melt the butter, add the onion, yellow pepper, fennel, and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cook slowly for about 6 minutes until all are tender, transfer mixture to a bowl, add bread crumbs, and allow to cool.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- When cooled add crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, tarragon, parsley, scallions, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix the ingredients well and stuff the shells. Bake for 25 minutes until warmed through.
- Note: the crabs should be poached in a court boullion made with 2 quarts water, 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped yellow onion, and 1 chopped celery stalk boiled with 1/2 teaspoon each black peppercorns and coriander seeds. Bring the mixture to a boil and after 10 minutes, add 1 lemon, thinly sliced. Let boil for 10 more minutes, salt the water, and poach the crabs.
OVEN BAKED CRABMEAT STUFFED SOLE WITH MEUNIERE SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper, green onion, celery, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. In a medium bowl, combine cooled vegetables, crabmeat, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Season crab mixture with salt and white pepper, to taste.
- Season sole fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Spoon crabmeat mixture down the center of the fillets and roll lengthwise into bundles. Using toothpicks, secure the ends so that the fillets won't unwrap during baking. Place sole fillet bundles, seam-side down, in a lightly greased 9-inch square baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and Worcestershire. Cook for 2 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the cream and cook, whisking, for 15 seconds. Season with salt and cayenne. Turn heat down to low and whisk in the remaining butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Immediately remove the pan from the heat to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking.
- Pour warm meuniere sauce over crabmeat stuffed sole and serve immediately.

CRAB-STUFFED FLOUNDER
My boyfriend and I literally created this "by the seat of our pants." We just started tossing ingredients together as we went until we achieved the taste we were looking for. This is very good! We didn't measure anything as we threw ingredients into the mixing bowl, but I wrote down my measurement approximations because I knew this would be a repeat!

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose fresh celery stalks: Look for celery stalks that are crisp and have a vibrant green color. Avoid limp or wilted stalks.
- Use high-quality crab meat: Fresh or frozen crab meat works well for this recipe. Avoid using canned crab meat, as it often contains fillers and preservatives.
- Don't overcook the celery: Celery should be cooked just until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce add a delicious flavor to the crab stuffing. Feel free to adjust the amount of each seasoning to your taste.
- Chill the stuffed celery before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the celery more refreshing.
